Product Safety Notification and Recall Effectiveness Act of 2005

H.R. 1013, the Product Safety Notification and Recall Effectiveness Act of 2005, would require manufacturers of certain consumer goods to establish a direct notification system to alert owners about product recalls. The bill specifically targets juvenile products and small household appliances, mandating that companies maintain a database of consumers who have purchased these items. The goal of the legislation is to reduce injuries and deaths by ensuring that safety warnings and recall instructions reach the public more effectively than through general media announcements alone.
